My husband and I rented this property for ten days- a few days preceding and a week following our wedding at nearby Full Moon Resort. The house itself would be impressive anywhere- beautiful upgrades, gorgeous kitchen, wood burning fireplace in the common room, gas fireplace and huge soaking tub in the master. The best part though are the massive windows and minimum 4 sliding glass doors (2 more in the master) that give a panoramic openness to the place. You don't really need the fans on with the cross breeze from 4 sliding glass doors. The deck surrounds the house and would be perfect for entertaining, but we mostly just lounged on the furniture with our morning coffee. Beyond the deck is basically your own private nature preserve, nestled into the alcove of a creek. The grounds are really the best part. It was lovely waking up each morning to the sounds of the water. Our only neighbors were a baby deer, his mom, innumerable chipmunks and a family of adorable baby beavers. It felt like we were staying at a Disney resort. We will absolutely be back, it was so hard to leave.

A couple things to keep in mind: there aren't tv's in the two smaller bedrooms, so if you're someone who needs to watch tv before bed you'll want to bring a laptop or something (though the creek sounds were enough for us). Also, the master is far and away the nicest bedroom in the house. The other bedrooms are fine (one has an en-suite), but if we hadn't been covering the cost for everyone it mightve been a little awkward asking them to split the bill evenly. That being said, it worked out great for our wedding weekend.

It's a bit rustic in that you have to drop your garbage at the recycling center (not keeping garbage outside is ideal, don't want to attract too much wildlife) so bring a few extra garbage bags. It's a short drive and $2 per bag of garbage, recycling is free. You have to sort the recycling, so it's actually easier to just put the beer cans back in the box as you use them etc. This isn't really a big deal to be honest, and was actually nice to have a sense of accountability. It took maybe 5-10 minutes once we were there - I'm only mentioning it because it's not something I was aware of initially.

This was a beautiful rental and we will remember our honeymoon forever. We'll be recommending it to everyone. Definitely stay if you get the chance.
